Sony's been developing and publishing games for decades. I'm not buying that they're some newbie that needs time to figure it out, or some entity that can get strongarmed by their development partners.
@Caca
Because the real headline in the article is:
"PlayStation Lists Housemarque in “Single-Player, Narrative-Driven Focus”; Bend Studio in “Evolving, Multi-Genre” Categories for In-Development Projects"
Kind of an odd way to have posted the article here with that title and description.
Premium upgrades for last gen titles
The Flip-flop specifically regarding Horizon Forbidden West because they delayed it out of launch-window
TLOU Part 1's pricing
Steep Price increases on PS+
Local-play requirement for DualSense on PS5 titles (Remote Play allows any controller that can connect to a phone; some early PS4-5 cross-gen titles didn't take any advantage of the haptics either, requiring the purchase of a second DS to play any native PS5 t...
Sony is the publisher. They set the rules. They set up the regions it's available in.
The game wouldn't exist or be as popular as it is without Arrowhead. They didn't mess up one bit, except for showing care and catering to the community.
It is an evil move for a corporation to take money from customers they're knowingly going to prevent from playing the game. How is that *not* corporate-evil?
You're just spitting back out the Sony PR line.
PC-first and PC-centric gaming is a different beast. Helldivers 2's popularity and GoT's popularity are because they're good solid games, not because they're from PlayStation publishing.
It's the same PlayStation that put Helldivers 2 for sale internationally, then pulled their PSN-Steam removal card. The same PlayStation that released Returnal with UE4's dreaded shader stutter. T...
Or... They're intentionally trolling you guys specifically. Because they know it upsets you so easily.
Name-dropping Orchard, after this many months? How long has it been and he's still in your thoughts?
@Storm
... That statement doesn't imply anything about Xbox exclusivity. It is a game changer - AMD's recommendation for frame gen is a 60fps base but this game is below that yet apparently feels great.
You thinking it's about Xbox does tells me that you're obsessing over Obscure (lots of people do here). I also don't blame purple... Or anyone. There's no blame, I'm remarking on the exchange.
So they don't deserve to deal with it, but you agree they should deal with it anyway, as long as the idea is good?
No. F that. How can you discourage inappropriate behavior and then, in the very same thought, find a way to excuse it?
Console warring over a framerate pause during non-interactive content in a first-of-its-kind implementation in a game no one gave a crap about when it released 9-10 months ago.
Gotta love N4G.
@the obvious stain of a commenter
The trans character wasn't Abby. Try playing Part 2 instead of gatekeeping what you think Part 1 was about and meant.
Maybe try watching the show while you're at it, because you're terribly off with your opinion on that too
Best motorcycle gameplay of last gen!
The writing though really was the worst. Deacon was one-note and overly bitter, everyone else was a trope. You could cut off the first 30-40 hours of the game and then it would actually be a great game.
"That awkward moment is then made worse by how lengthy and repetitive this sequence becomes... While it only takes around a minute, it feels a lot longer"
The article is based around literally the first moments you're given control when it's still rolling in names on opening credits. It's a short game yet they're click-baiting with only showing they know only just first seconds you play
Another Us vs Them headline from Videogamer. XDefiant has nothing to do with COD's marketing and vice versa.
...save people who need saving. No s.
The author was so focused on the pun he made a typo that early.
This review reads so poorly, it doesn't get better.
"I have to voice the fact that I am disappointed by it only being on Xbox, however, the experience wasn’t entirely bad, apart from trying to control navigation by using the D-Pad rather than the Joystick. Although this was a bad thing for a PlayStation gamers like myself, it i...
I played the first chapter last night on my PC.
3440x1440p HDR with DLSS Quality + Frame Gen
100fps at Max/High Settings
RTX 4070 & Ryzen 7 5800x3D
There were a few hitches, and odd patches of green/purple polygons that popped up on Senua and some rocks. The intro cutscene for Chapter 2 had flickering on the male character's armor.
Gonna play more tonight now that I updated my driver to the new Game Ready version Nvidia ...
It's hilarious seeing these losers still push the censorship narrative. Like good grief, they still kept the slim bikinis and the mid-cutscene crotch-shot, and the scenes of being up-close to uhh...Lily's face... in moments when she hugs Eve.
Does Spider-Man 2 not fit that same description? $320m budget with minimal gameplay changes over the first and MM... unless you count the deaf girl mission that lasts as long as Venom's.
Outlet: "9!"
Same outlet: "Publisher failed the game we gave a 9 to"
Make that make sense. The game is a 9 to you guys; the publisher let them make what they wanted and you guys like it.
@The Wood
No, bias very clearly exists.
I've responded to two comments now in this thread full of it.
And I just wanted Concord to be a solid sci-if arena shooter in the vein of Halo or Unreal Tournament/Championship. Alas it ain't that either.
Astro Bot on the other hand - heck yes that trailer is serving out exactly what it needs to, I'm Day One on that and it was easily my favorite announcement yesterday.
